For weekend adventures, backpacking or wild camping, choose a compact, lightweight tent that is easier to set up and dismantle. Good for solo wild camping or adventure racing, the teeny tiny ionosphere sits very low to the ground, a little like a glorified bivvy bag. It may feel a little like you’re sleeping in a coffin but there’s plenty of bonuses to this low-lying design – it packs down tiny, pitches in 10 minutes flat and weighs a paltry 1.5kg.
A simple option for an overnight stay under canvas, for kids to share or for use as a storage tent. The canopy fabric is made of a lightweight denier polyester, offering water resistant features and 50+ UPF, which we love. Being protected from the suns harmful UVB rays is probably why you wanted a canopy tent in the first place, and this Ozark Trail tent meets all criteria in this department. The one complaint we have is that there is no vents in the fabric at the peak to release the build up of hot air under the canopy. Most new tents incorporate this ventilated canopy design to increase airflow and reduce the trapping of hot air, helping to keep those in the shade cooler and more comfortable. Embark on your next outdoor adventure with confidence, equipped with Naturehike’s innovative tent collection.
Recreate your sitting room from home inside the super roomy Moonhill, which boasts a massive living space as well as three blackout bedrooms that work well when shared by a family of four or five. Big windows and a porch make this a nice space to hang out in during ozark trail canopy bad weather. We did find pitching fiddly – it’s best attempted by two people, and this is still a heavy tent, despite the inflatable ‘air’ poles. You can also add in extras from Outwell, such as a comfortable carpet or a tarp to extend the living space further.
Need plenty of space for longer family holidays but don’t want a behemoth of a tent you can barely lift? Inflatable or ‘air’ tents solve the problem, and Vango’s vesta is one of the best. Inflate the poles, peg the Vesta out and you’ve got a roomy tent with two breathable blackout bedrooms and a central living space – it took us around 20 minutes to pitch this one during testing. We love the skylights in the central space for a spot of stargazing, too. This is also an eco-friendly option, as the fabric is made from recycled plastic bottles woven into polyester. The eye-catching teepee air 400 might just be the perfect balance of compact size and roominess for two happy campers.
Coupled with a health-conscious PP plastic lid that ensures a 100% airtight seal with its quarter-turn technology, spills and leaks are things of the past. Whether it’s for Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, your sister, or your bestie, this tumbler encapsulates joy, love, and sweet affection, making every sip a reminder of your gratitude and warm wishes. We pitched and slept in each tent in campsites in the Cotswolds and South Wales. Testing took place during rain and chilly temperatures as well as during balmy spring weather.
The included carrying bag does not have wheels to aid in transportation, but at only 29 lbs. We don’t find that to be a noteworthy drawback as the nylon handles and shoulder strap work just fine in carrying the tent. The most popular product in their line is the 10×10 Instant Slant Leg Tent with a blue canopy top. It is made with a steel construction frame and polyester material for the canopy, which ozark trail backpack is in line with just about every shade tent on the market today. OK, so this tent is on the basic side, but it’s got enough room for one person (or two kids) plus a weekend’s worth of kit inside, and it’s waterproof enough to withstand light rain. Let this circular design free of its straps and it springs into shape instantly (but, be warned, it’s a frustratingly tricky one to put down again).
